DLV News for 2012

The Dick Lane Velodrome (DLV) in Atlanta has published the dates for the 2012 Pro Series. These races are very exciting to watch and racers from all over the country come to participate. It is truly amazing to watch the pro-level riders race against each other.

5/12 - The Kerin
7/7 - The Omnium
9/8 - The Madison

All of the above dates are Saturdays. Racing starts at 3pm with the main event starting around 6pm. There is a spectator fee of $5 for these events. On the preceding Friday night there are also races called "Need For Speed". I don't think there is a spectator fee on Friday nights.

DLV has also published the dates for the beginners classes. For those that are not locals to Atlanta it is best to participate in a weekend class. Currently there are two scheduled: 3/12-13; 7/30-31. Every rider that wants to ride on the velodrome must participate in a beginners class. For all information on the beginners class click here.

I am really looking forward to race season at the velodrome. Weekly racing starts the first week of April.
